Aussie astro tech to go on show in Adelaide

Australian technology now boosting the performance of Germany’s flagship radio telescope will go on show at the Adelaide Convention Centre as part of the International Astronautical Congress 2017 from September 25 to 29.

CSIRO designed and built the radio-receiving equipment for the 100-m Effelsberg telescope near Bonn, the biggest single-dish telescope in Europe and one of the biggest in the world.

The instrument, a 'phased-array feed', was originally created for CSIRO’s own Australian SKA Pathfinder telescope in Western Australia.
